Up for auction is this absolutely beautiful 1960 Corvette pro touring project car. This project started with a perfect complete 1960 Corvette that had never been hit or had any body damage. The car was disassembled and the body was soda blasted down to the bare fiberglass. The body was fit and aligned with all the panels to insure perfect alignment and gaps for a show car finish. Everything was blocked and blocked and blocked to make it perfectly straight and smooth before the gorgeous Ultra blue and pearl silver paint was applied. The clearcoat was then blocked perfectly flat and then buffed to a mirror shine. The original chassis was replaced with a Progressive INC Modern replacement featuring late model Corvette front suspension and a triangulated 4 link rear suspension. The chassis features 4 wheel disc brakes with 13" rotors in the front with 4 piston calipers and 11" rotors in the rear with 2 piston calipers. The chassis also features adjustable coilovers on all 4 corners and a brand new 9" Ford rear with 3:55 gears and a posi unit. Chassis also includes all the brake lines pre bent and front and rear sway bars and much more. The engine is a brand new 355 small block Chevy featuring aluminum heads. We have all the documentation on the engine build. The transmission is a brand new 400 turbo with a Lokar shifter. We have just about everything to complete this awesome project, There is a brand new Ron Francis Wiring harness, heavy duty aluminum radiator, complete exhaust system, and much, much more! The hardtop has just come back from being completely redone including all new glass, rubber, headliner, hardware, And all the stainless polished! That just cost over $5,000.00! This is a very high end project with all the hard work done. There has been a fortune spent and countless hours to get this beautiful car to this point. Just needs put together and your own finishing touches to it. This car is being offered for a fraction of what has been spent! We have 2 folders full of all the documentation and receipts for this entire build! Please ask any questions before you bid and I would encourage anyone who is seriously interested to come see it in person. You won't be disappointed! This car is simply a masterpiece that you will get to enjoy cruising and showing.

Pure Vision Design TT Camaro has 1,400 reasons to want it
Wed, 06 Nov 2013We've talked about Pure Vision Design before, a California-based company that made waves at last year's SEMA show with its Martini-liveried, Indy-car-powered Ford Mustang. That same car later starred in a Petrolicious video we showed you just a few weeks back. The company's latest creation is a menacing car it calls the Pure Vision Design TT Camaro. Based on a 1972 model, this car shares the Martini Mustang's clean styling and obsession with details.
Unlike the Mustang, which draws its power from a mid-60s Lotus-Ford Indycar engine, the "TT" in this Camaro's name implies something far more potent. The Nelson Racing Engines 427-cubic-inch V8 has been fitted with a pair of turbochargers, with a claimed output of 1,400 horsepower. That's almost 1,000 more than the Martini Mustang.
A six-speed Magnum transmission dispatches that power to the ground, while Pirelli PZero tires are tasked with (somehow) trying to grip the road. Baer brakes hide behind those HRE rims, while JRI coilovers and HyperTech springs bless the Camaro with some degree of competency in the bends.
Junkyard Gem: 1987 Chevrolet Turbo Sprint
Sun, Feb 6 2022Fifteen years ago, I wrote my first-ever automotive article under the name Murilee Martin, and it didn't take me long to start writing about one of my favorite automotive subjects: the junkyard. Before I'd refined my system for documenting discarded vehicles, however, I shot a lot of boneyard photos that never got used. For today's Junkyard Gem, I have four shots from early 2007 of one of the rarest turbocharged machines of the 1980s: the Chevrolet Turbo Sprint. The Chevrolet Sprint was really a rebadged Suzuki Cultus, from the pre-Geo era when General Motors sold the Isuzu Gemini as the Chevrolet Spectrum, the Daewoo LeMans as the Pontiac LeMans and the Toyota Corolla as the Chevrolet Nova (soon enough, the Spectrum became a Geo, and the Nova became the Prizm). The second-generation Cultus appeared in 1988, becoming the Geo Metro on our shores the following year. The Turbo Sprint was available for just the last two years of the Sprint's 1985-1988 American sales run, and it appears that just a couple of thousand were sold; if I'd known at the time just how rare they were, I'd have shot more photos of this one at the now-defunct Hayward Pick Your Part. The turbocharged 993cc three-cylinder produced 70 horsepower, 22 better than the naturally-aspirated version. Since the Turbo Sprint weighed just 1,620 pounds (that's about 500 pounds lighter than a barely more powerful '22 Mitsusbishi Mirage), it was plenty of fun to drive. For 1988, the regular Sprint hatchback cost $6,380 while the Turbo Sprint listed at $8,240 (that's about $15,375 and $19,855 today, respectively). Believe it or not, a Turbo Sprint actually raced in the 24 Hours of Lemons 10 years ago, though it didn't end well. This ad is for the regular Cultus, not the Cultus Turbo, but the screaming guitars sound reasonably turbocharged. For the most part, Chevy Sprint marketing was all about cheap purchase price and stingy fuel economy… at a time when gasoline prices were cratering. Related Video:

There once was a time when Daewoo was one of the biggest companies in South Korea. It was larger than both LG and Samsung, and second only to Hyundai. But these days the name is all but gone.
